Dates & Reminders

v Students may leave their Spelling, English, & Literacy Place books at home.

v Due to the fact that assignment books were simply a repeat of the information on the newsletter, we have decided to discontinue use of these books. Please continue to check your child’s homework pocket and newsletter daily for any homework due.

v Every student needs to bring a personal pencil sharpener (with cover) to school each day. Also, please help your child repack their pencil bag each night after they complete homework. We are having several students come back to school without pencils & erasers.
